Having reinstalled the engine, I have realised that the choke, (including the cable, knob and mechanism) is missing completely.
and I cannot fathom out where the dash control should be sited, the diagrams I have are vague.
does anyone please know where I might find the parts? I can find a cable on www.pieces-fulvia, but I'm not sure this is suitable for the Flavia. (lalancia.com suggest they are the same).
regards Richard

Is it a carb engine or fuel injection?

Hello Clarkey, it's a carburettor, single Solex.

mine was fuel injected, I think the choke was either automatic or you floored the throttle to set it. If you have the owners manual for the car it should show the position of the choke lever. The Appia ones under the steering column on the left.

I'll have a look at mine tomorrow, took the controls out a few weeks ago but can't recall without having a look how it all worked.
Also that bracket you posted about looks familiar

Great, many thanks Dave

Attached should be a picture of the lever on my Flavia Sport. If yours is missing completely, I can probably find a spare for you as they were fitted to the Flaminia, Flavia and Fulvia. Regarding the cable the outer can be obtained from any good cycle shop. It is usually sold by the metre. The inner is a length of piano wire.

Well done Dave, knew you'd know, and ashamed to say I'd forgotten to look until today!

Cheers Dave, this helps so much.

richardcooper · « **Reply #12 on:** 28 March, 2026, 09:56:30 AM »

And if you can please locate one that will be fantastic.

Dave Gee · « **Reply #13 on:** 29 March, 2026, 08:57:53 AM »

I assume you just need the leaver ?

Dave

Hello Dave, sorry for late reply, I've been away from computer for a few days.
I have absolutely zero, no lever, no holding bracket, no cable, although you have advised re the cable.
Best Richard
